All the cougars in that region of the Rockies made a rendezvous of the game preserve.

Jones soon procured a pack of hounds, but as they had been trained to run deer, foxes and coyotes he had great trouble.

When they refused to come back at his call, he stung them with fine shot, and in this manner taught obedience.
